2015 Saxum Vineyards Red Wine Heart Stone Vineyard Adelaida District Paso Robles

Vinous Media (VM)

Brilliant purple. Exotically perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, potpourri and licorice, along with woodsmoke, vanilla and pipe tobacco overtones. Silky, seamless and expansive on the palate, offering energetic black raspberry, boysenberry and fruitcake flavors that put on weight with aeration while retaining urgency. Rich yet lively and incisive, finishing bright and sweet, with supple tannins, lingering sweetness and superb persistence. This wine's interplay of power and elegance is quite something.
